Safety
DO NOT exit the telehandler without follow-
ing proper shut down procedures.
Engine fuel is flammable and
can cause a fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious in-
jury. DO NOT smoke while refu-
eling and keep sparks and and
open flames away from the telehandler.
tag the telehandler with “Do Not Operate” tags, and have a
qualified mechanic service or repair the telehandler BEFORE
placing it into service again. Ignoring warning indicators
can result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
Contact with hot surfaces and the exhaust
pipe after the telehandler has been operated
could result in serious personal injury.
Check warning indicators and gauges on
the display frequently during operation. If a
warning indicator is illuminated or a gauge
shows abnormal readings, stop the telehan-
dler, follow proper shut down procedures,
Caution
Release the key immediately once the motor
starts. If the motor does not start, DO NOT
crank the starter motor continuously for more
than 15 seconds. Failure to release the key af-
ter the motor has started or continuous crank-
ing can damage the starter motor.
Load Safety
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with a
load could result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed telehandler capacity of 6,000 pounds
(2,721.5 kilograms). The total rated capacity of the forks be-
ing used must equal or exceed telehandler capacity. Forks
can bend or break causing loss of load and possible death
or serious injury.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated load
for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of the manufactur-
er’s rated load may cause telehandler tip over,
loss of load, or structural damage, which
could result in death or serious injury.
Failure to keep personnel clear of the load
area while the load is being raised or lowered
could result in death or serious injury. DO
NOT lift, swing, or move a load over anyone.
•
Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary
attachment before performing any operation.
•
Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed specified
weights and load centers.
•
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load
capacity.
•
DO NOT operate the telehandler with an unsafe load
distribution.
•
Adjust the load as necessary, especially for nonstan-
dard loads.
•
Use caution when handling loose material that can fall
into the cab.
•
Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
•
DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.
•
Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
•
Avoid carrying a swinging load from the boom lift
point. If necessary, secure the load by attaching it to
the telehandler tie-downs and/or have another person
assist with safely steadying the load.
DO NOT change steering modes until the tele-
handler comes to a complete stop. Align all
four (4) tires “straight-ahead,” or perpendicu-
lar to the axle, before changing steering mode.
